NOVPUB"Why haven’t you left yet? If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!"
Seeing that Wu Bin and his two companions were still standing in place without moving, Wang Xing was very anxious.
Song Bing was even more anxious. He quickly spoke up and said, "Taoist Wang, it’s not that we don’t want to leave, but the iron gate is locked! Do you have any way to help us open the gate?"
Wang Xing rolled his eyes and said, "I’m busy!"
He was now busy battling with the ghost and had no time to help with the iron gate.
Just then, Wu Bin said to Wang Xing, "Taoist Wang, do you have any way to make him pass out?"
Wang Xing shook his head.
"If I had a way to make him pass out, I would have a way to deal with him, and I wouldn’t be telling you to run!"
Hearing Wang Xing say this, Wu Bin’s expression became grave again.
It seemed that they couldn’t rely on others and had to depend on themselves.
Wu Bin opened the Life Coin Shop and checked the three skills refreshed by the system.
[Tenacious Will (Passive): When the skill is activated, the host’s spiritual power will be at full level and unaffected by any mental attack. Exchange price: 300 Life Coins.]
Seeing this skill, Wu Bin’s eyes instantly bulged.
Are you kidding me?
300 Life Coins just to exchange for such a useless thing?
What’s the use of being immune to mental attacks!
Wu Bin quickly turned his gaze to the second skill.
[Passable Imitation: When the skill is activated, the host will possess the temperament, behavior patterns, and tone of the object being imitated, enhancing their own influence. Exchange price: 200 Life Coins.]
Wu Bin covered his forehead, barely able to look.
What junk skills are these, not a single useful one!
Meanwhile, Wang Xing had already started battling the ghost.
Wang Xing stepped in the Seven-Star Step, holding the Peach Wood Sword, and directly charged at the ghost.
It was apparent that the ghost was very wary of the Peach Wood Sword in Wang Xing’s hand.
After all, Peach Wood Swords are not easy to make, and the material used is Thunderstruck Wood, something extremely firm and yang. Even for a ghost of its current level, if it were to be stabbed by the Peach Wood Sword, it would likely be severely injured.
Wang Xing’s swordsmanship clearly showed practice; not only were the angles tricky, but the speed was also very fast.
Wu Bin felt that if Wang Xing were to stab him with the Peach Wood Sword, he would already be full of holes.
But even with such a sharp swordsmanship, Wang Xing could not manage to stab the ghost.
Even though the ghost was controlling Ma Baoguo’s body, its movements were quite agile, and dodging seemed effortless and natural.
In comparison, Wang Xing was simply no match for the ghost.
Wang Xing also knew that he had no chance of winning in a fight with the ghost.
Therefore, while the ghost was distracted, Wang Xing threw out two yellow talismans.
The talismans shot directly towards the ghost. The ghost subconsciously reached out to block them, only for the talismans to stick to its hands like plasters, impossible to shake off.
Most importantly, the ghost’s hands became incredibly heavy after the talismans stuck on them.
The speed of dodging and blocking naturally slowed down.
But while Wang Xing had spells, the ghost had its own methods.
Before Wang Xing could take advantage of the opportunity to attack, the ghost opened its mouth and spewed out a breath of black air.
Wang Xing, who was preparing to move closer, was shocked and hurriedly jumped back several steps.
But still, some of the black air sprayed onto Wang Xing’s Peach Wood Sword, corroding a large part of it in an instant.
Wang Xing saw this scene with a look of utter disbelief on his face.
To know that the Peach Wood Sword was made from Thunderstruck Wood, which was in itself the most rigid and positive object to ward off evil, how could it be directly tainted and rotted by the black energy?
Seeing the expression on Wang Xing’s face, the ghost let out a loud laugh.
"Little Taoist, is that all the ability you have? If that’s all you’ve got, then all of you are going to die here today," the ghost taunted.
The ghost reached out and grabbed at the void, and two ghostly hands emerged from the ground, firmly grasping Wang Xing’s ankles. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Although Wang Xing managed to break free immediately, the ghostly hands still left bruise marks on his ankles!
Song Bing was nearly scared to tears.
"Oh my God, what in the world is this, Old Wu, think of something quick, Taoist Wang can’t hold on!" he cried.
Song Bing was, after all, just an ordinary person. Before today, he never believed that ghosts existed in this world.
And now, not only had a ghost capable of snatching human bodies appeared, but this ghost also used such dreadfully evil techniques, which naturally made Song Bing feel desperate.
Wu Bin told Song Bing not to panic and then turned his attention to the third skill.
When Wu Bin saw the effect of the third skill, his eyes lit up instantly.
[Drowsy: When the skill is activated, it can force a target into a sleep state. The duration of this state depends on the target’s spiritual power, with a minimum duration of no less than one minute. Exchange price: 300 Life Coins.]
Divine skill!
This was freaking divine skill!
This was exactly what he was in dire need of right now!
Just as the ghost was about to strangle Wang Xing, Zhu Ling asked from the side, "Do I need to take action now?"
Wu Bin knew that once Zhu Ling made a move, Ma Baoguo was definitely not going to survive.
Therefore, Wu Bin spoke in a deep voice, "No need, I will make Uncle Ma faint first, then you can do your thing."
After Wu Bin finished speaking, he activated his skill [Drowsy] directly.
The moment Wu Bin activated his skill, the ghost who was ready to send Wang Xing to his demise suddenly found that it had grasped nothing in its hand, and Wang Xing had vanished from its grip out of thin air!
The ghost was shocked beyond measure.
Illusion Technique?
The ghost, having seen much of the world, was quite familiar with all kinds of strange methods.
Only an Illusion Technique could make one lose sense of the space around them in an instant.
However, the ghost sneered, "Using an illusion on me? That’s far too naive. I’ve never been afraid of anyone that tried to compete with me in spiritual power!"
The ghost had been able to stay in the human world for so long because its own spiritual power was incredibly strong.
Therefore, being trapped in an Illusory Realm did not panic it in the slightest.
Such Illusory Realms could easily be broken by the ghost in the blink of an eye.
Just as the ghost was about to do so, a powerful oppressive force descended from the heavens.
The ghost’s countenance changed dramatically.
"The Dragon Clan? Impossible, how could the Dragon Clan be here!" it exclaimed.
The ghost instinctively looked up and saw a giant fire dragon circling in the sky.
Before the ghost had time to react, the fire dragon opened its mouth and spouted out scorching flames toward it!
"Illusion, this has to be an illusion! None of this is real!" the ghost thought to itself.
The ghost tried to force itself to confront the Illusory Realm head-on.
But the sense of oppression that Zhu Ling brought to the ghost was just too overpowering, it even had the genuine feeling that if it didn’t evade, it would be burned alive in the next second!
